Hi Missymoo55,

Welcome to the community (the one nobody really wants to be in). I hope you will find what you need here over your journey with CLL. Please ask questions and share experiences, as we all do.

On to your specific question, and an apology as I for one have never seen a graph like this. I tried to zoom in a bit to read the x axis but I cannot see what they relate to with confidence. I'm based in the UK, what part of the world are you in (no need to be too precise - country is enough), maybe someone closer to your home has seen this before and could explain.

In general CLL is a slow developing condition so I would tend not to panic or worry a lot, however, getting things checked out is always a good idea (saves unnecessary worry).

Hi Missy,

Like Rob, I have no idea what the graph relates to or was measuring I'm afraid.

The spleen measures 200 g in a healthy adult I understand but it's unlikely to relate to that.

Best to check with your medical team I think. Did they tell you what the graph related to at all or does it say?

Hello newdawn thanks for that no she didn't I look after someone with Ms and he was having it done at home by a therapist so we thought we would just test me and see what it come up with its a machine used for a cup acupuncture I belive

[Missymoo555]

It's a acugraph machine she used on me if that's any help

It apparently measures your Ying/Yang balances....

I'm not sure I'd be relying on this technique for medical results to be honest Missy but I'm not dismissing it's use because I don't understand its function sufficiently well but it's not mainstream diagnostic testing. I wouldn't be taking definitive guidance on spleen size or function from it however. Rely on your medical team.

Thank u very much for your help newdawn I won't worry about it unless I get any symptoms

[Newdawn Administrator in reply to Missymoo555]

Certainly don't worry about it based on the findings of that test Missy. It cannot give you accurate scientific or medical evidence and is a supplementary technique that mainstream medicine views with suspicion and some even regard as quackery.

Best wishes,

Newdawn
